the command i am using is :

milx -s "Servers list" ${MAIL_ID} < $MAILFILE

MAIL_ID was defined with actual email id and MAILFILE contains list of the servers having login problems.

In the mail, at the eighth line iam getting an exclamatory mark and a new line which were not there in actual MAILFILE.
